Luis Diaz Achieves Rare Record Against the Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Colombian star Luis Diaz entered the World Cup records in an unusual way, after being caught offside 5 times during his country's match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.

According to statistics, the Colombian winger became the first player to be caught offside five times in a single World Cup match since the 2014 edition, indicating his constant movements behind the defensive lines and repeated attempts to penetrate the Congolese team's defenses.

Match reports confirm that Díaz had more than one goal disallowed due to offside and was the most frequently caught in the offside trap during the match.

Despite his struggles with the offside trap, Díaz played a prominent role in Colombia's attacking pressure, and he had more than one goal disallowed during the match, which was decided by a late goal from Daniel Muñoz that gave Colombia a 1-0 victory and qualification to the Round of 32.
